So one thing i want to know is who has had problems with the FI cages and what was the problem????

N/A

Personally, I've never had any problems with my FI cage... but I have an F4i and FI cages are diesel on F4i's. But, unfortunately, they rip out motor mount bolts, crack stator covers, and the bike tends to fall onto it's clip-ons.

old man roger

and on an r6 you can't afford to damage a motor mount because of where it is on an r6

xemoneyx

well the guys at FI dont seem to think that they do

old man roger

well the guys at fi are selling them so they are not gonna tell you about all the broken stator covers and ripped out motor mounts

xemoneyx

haha true that

3 crashes, 3 seperate days, from idle or the bar on the left side and my frame is cracked....

One of us has one on an 05 636. The "slider" looking piece that bolts to the motor, has broken its weld several times.

Junk cages in my opinion. SI has held up great for the rest of us.

I broke my frame with a fi cage but my bike did fly about 8 feet in the air....but im still rockin it but ive read about alot of ppl having problems with motor mounts and covers

xemoneyx

well heres what the FI cage did to my bike and i called them and they said that when i got a new setup to call them....and in the mean time my motor and frame are no good

the only trouble that i've had was not keeping the cage tight. it's the best looking cage out there.IMO. easiest to get on and off. the cage has done nothing but good for my bike, and damage to the bike/cage was cause i let the cage get loose, you have to keep them tight just like other cages.
cage are made to HELP protect our bikes from normal falls,spills that we encounter while rideing the way we ride. NOT FROM LAUCHING YOUR BIKE ACROSS THE LOT!!!END over end....... i'm very happy with FI.

The cage loop scrapes the ramp when I load and unload my bike, it scrapes if you set down a wheelie too hard and it stripped my right side motor mount .

old man roger

exactly what i was talking about

jstuntlocke

That's what I thought too, but who's talkin about across the lot?

Three crashes like this, with EACH time tightening **** back up, and your are done??? I don't think so.


It's like cuttin the tip of ur peg down on ur rearset so that it doesn't have that lone initial contact point.
I knew once it dented in the frame on the FIRST toss that it was going to give me trouble. I would rather it have spread the impact out over the rest of my bike instead of takin a center punch blow like that right on the motor mount/ frame.... I'm actually glad my frame gave some and it didn't trash the motor!

For me it was a combination of things... inexperience, cage, lame footpegs, cheap hollow cast frame, not fully takin the time to brace up my frame like I planned... I can't just blame it on the cage cuz it impressed me intially on a spreader get off on the highway.

And Roger, I'm going to have to do something else about a subby cage, sorry bro! If I get another bike, I'll hit you up. I'm sick of the pass pegs flexin in and my feet slippin off the damn pass pegs...... Look what happened!

*edit* this is not the crash that busted my frame.....
